From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> obj has type struct snmp_object **, not struct snmp_object *. But indeed it is not even clear why kmalloc is needed. The memory is freed by the end of the function, so the local variable of pointer type should be sufficient. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @disable sizeof_type_expr@ type T; T **x; @@ x = <+...sizeof( - T + *x )...+> // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_nat_snmp_basic.c | 31 +++++++------------- 1 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_nat_snmp_basic.c b/net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_nat_snmp_basic.c index d9521f6..0b9c7ce 100644 --- a/net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_nat_snmp_basic.c +++ b/net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_nat_snmp_basic.c @@ -1038,7 +1038,7 @@ static int snmp_parse_mangle(unsigned char *msg, unsigned int cls, con, tag, vers, pdutype; struct asn1_ctx ctx; struct asn1_octstr comm; - struct snmp_object **obj; + struct snmp_object *obj; if (debug > 1) hex_dump(msg, len); @@ -1148,43 +1148,34 @@ static int snmp_parse_mangle(unsigned char *msg, if (cls != ASN1_UNI || con != ASN1_CON || tag != ASN1_SEQ) return 0; - obj = kmalloc(sizeof(struct snmp_object), GFP_ATOMIC); - if (obj == NULL) { - if (net_ratelimit()) - printk(KERN_WARNING "OOM in bsalg(%d)\n", __LINE__); - return 0; - } - while (!asn1_eoc_decode(&ctx, eoc)) { unsigned int i; - if (!snmp_object_decode(&ctx, obj)) { - if (*obj) { - kfree((*obj)->id); - kfree(*obj); + if (!snmp_object_decode(&ctx, &obj)) { + if (obj) { + kfree(obj->id); + kfree(obj); } - kfree(obj); return 0; } if (debug > 1) { printk(KERN_DEBUG "bsalg: object: "); - for (i = 0; i < (*obj)->id_len; i++) { + for (i = 0; i < obj->id_len; i++) { if (i > 0) printk("."); - printk("%lu", (*obj)->id[i]); + printk("%lu", obj->id[i]); } - printk(": type=%u\n", (*obj)->type); + printk(": type=%u\n", obj->type); } - if ((*obj)->type == SNMP_IPADDR) + if (obj->type == SNMP_IPADDR) mangle_address(ctx.begin, ctx.pointer - 4 , map, check); - kfree((*obj)->id); - kfree(*obj); + kfree(obj->id); + kfree(obj); } - kfree(obj); if (!asn1_eoc_decode(&ctx, eoc)) return 0; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
